At the time, the libs who made All in the Family thought that they were creating the ultimate parody of conservatives in Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor was a far lefty who loved acting like what he thought conservatives were), but in the end, it was Archie who took in his daughter and grandchild after their wonderful progressive husband and father abandoned them to live on a commune with a hot co-ed, as well as a number of other characters who needed help. Archie was rude, blunt and, ultimately, generous to a fault, and a better man than his detractors.

I forgot that BO added a few more states to his original 58. He said he had "been in 57 with one more to go" making 58----- "except that he wasn't able to go to AK or HI." That makes 60 States in Barrack the Magnificent's skull.

Why did the media not jump all over this at the time? Answer is obvious, they were already in the bag for the empty suit.
